Sustainable Transportation

Employee Commute Modal Split

While most of Gordon’s faculty, staff and administration still commute to work in their cars from their own homes, a small percentage (2%) are making their mark when it comes to sustainable commuting options. These include walking, bicycling, vanpooling or carpooling, taking public transportation, riding motorcycles or scooters, riding a campus shuttle, or a combination of these options. Ten percent of employees carpool or vanpool as their primary method of transportation. Read more about Gordon professors who are doing their best to reduce their carbon footprint ➔
